NEWS LTR №23: Typographic Summer

AG-like lowercase g with unusual stroke configuration and perky apostrophe, on a blue or cloudy sky. Friends of the written letter! You are surely familiar...

Yeah so. One of the reasons to post stuff on these platforms is to present oneself as a capable professional. Not just inspo for the co-workers and fodder for ocean burning AI, but an actual “hey, what if we hire this guy to do that type thing?”. Naive, surely, but it has to start somewhere? 1/3

Every time Monotype acquires another foundry, the homogenization of type accelerates. The antidote isn't nostalgia—it's supporting indies who still treat type as craft, not content.

LTR Limited Grotesque®: Probably never at Monotype, but available at letterror.com/limited/ and FontStand. Variable weight humanist sans. More flavor, less baggage. #fonts #typography #lettering #sans

In a moment of zen, Ensor has dinner with the fish. Where is his friend Holbein? Out dancing probably. It can be read as a gruesome scene, but then again it is rendered in such fetching shading! Artistique! The drawing will continue until morale improves. #ensorHolbein

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results. tptq.com/weight
